After you have "guessed" the color on the wheel of fortune correctly for 3 times there is a dialog option that says that the probability is 1 to 4096. Is this really correct? To my understanding we have:

4 different colors3 independent guesses

where each guess has a probability of 1/4 = 25%Because each guess is independent, we have a total probability of (1/4)^3 to guess correctly three times in a row (where ^ denotes the power operator)

The calculation in the game is incorrect, I noticed that too when I first played it. If you had to guess the exact slot on the wheel each time, you'd get 4096=16^3. My guess was that the game designers initially planned it that way and then found the puzzle takes too long and gets tedious.

In addition, the nails on the wheel are in the wrong position. They need to be on the borders between colored areas and not in the middle, so that when the swinging peg ends up between two nails, it is clear what area it is on..

I know this toppic is over an year old, but thats not a reason to add a fun fact:If you look closely at the concept art of the scene at the end of the game, you will discover, that the weel has not only four colours: It has also 4 symbols combined with the colours. So there is a red, green, yellow and blue version of every symbol. It seems, that it was indeed planed with a probability of 1/4096.
